Forget what you think you know. Vampires exist. My name is Blade. I was born half human, half vampire. They call me, The Daywalker. I have all their strengths, none of their weaknesses, execpt for the thirst. 20 years ago, I met a man that changed that. Whistler. He taught me how to hold the thirst at bay. Taught me the rules. Gave me the weapons to hunt with: Silver, garlic, sunlight. Two years ago, he was attacked. They took him, and turned him into the thing I hate most. I should have finished him off. Now, I'm hunting him. I will find him. And nothing will stand in my way.

Asad: You've got to understand. These things are like crack addicts. They have to feed daily. Nomak's been up for 72 hours. By our estimates, there are already a dozen Reapers. There'll be hundreds before the week is out. Thousands within a matter of months. Do the math.

Blade: Wait. Let me get this right. You want me to hunt them for you?

Eli Damaskinos: Once they are finished with us, who do you think they'll turn against next? Your precious humans. Not one of them will be left.

Kounen: We spent two years training a small tactical unit: the Bloodpack. We want you to lead them.

Blade: Two years?

Nyssa: We've been training to hunt you.

Drug Dealer: Looking to get hooked up?

Jared Nomak: Maybe. What do you have?

Drug Dealer: No problem. Horse, Hawaiian Ice. Whatever you need.

Jared Nomak: Whatever I need. I like that. What if I need you?

[Nomak attacks him]

Scud: So B-man, what do you think?

Blade: Sounds like a plan.

Whistler: What do you really think?

Blade: They're gonna fuck us the first chance they get.

Scud: So, we ain't gonna do this, right?

Blade: We'll play along for now. They'll take us in deeper than we've ever been. To show us how their world really ticks.

Whistler: I've had enough of their world. They're shitting bricks just because they're no longer on the top of the damn food chain.

Reinhardt: Hey, me and the guys were wondering... [Whispers]

Blade: What?

Reinhardt: Can you blush?

Blade: Oh, I get it. I see now. You've been training for two years to take me out. And now, here I am. Ooh, it's so exiting, isn't it? Okay. Here's your chance. [Takes out a stake] Come on, what are you waiting for? [Points it at himself] Here I am. Right here in front of you. Adolf here gets the first shot. Come on. [Reinhardt looks at Nyssa] Come on, what are looking at her for? You need permission? Maybe you need a little bit of incentive. Okay, I can help with that. [Swirls the stake then hits Reinhardt with it, visibly agitating him] What's the matter, missed that? It's okay, I can do it again. [Does the same thing again]

Verlaine:[In Vampire language] Do it, Reinhardt! Do it!

Blade: Come on. What, do you need a manual? [Hands him the stake] Do it!

Chupa: Take him now!

[Reinhardt gives in and attacks Blade, who places a small device onto his head]

Blade: Now you got an explosive device stuck to the back of your head. Silver nitrate. Rigged to go off if anyone tampers with it. I'll have the detonator with me. And you. If you so much as look at me wrong...

Blade: [Standing outside a vampire safe house] Where's the entrance? I don't see any signs. No vampire glyphs.

Nyssa: No, because of you we've had to rethink our habits. Tighten our security. [Hands Blade a pair of binoculars] Take a closer look.

Whistler: [Entering the vampire lair to negotiate with them] You sure about this?

Blade: Well, if I'm not... [Pats his coat, which is filled with explosives]

Reinhardt: God, it would be so easy. [Pulls out his gun and aims it at Blade]

Chupa: He's got you.

[Reinhardt looks down to see a red dot of laser light on his chest, emanating from Blade's gun. Blade grins at him.]

Reinhardt: [Mouths] Fuck you.

Whistler: Someone's been keeping tabs on us from inside.

Blade: Where are we?

Whistler: Some kind of chamber deep in their lair.

Scud: They smashed up everything. The workshop, all of it.

Whistler: They've been lying to us from day 1. The Reaper virus didn't evolve. It was designed.

Blade: What?

Whistler: Designed. Nomak told me. I saw him back in the tunnel. He let me live.

Eli Damaskinos: Did he? How generous of him. I brought you here to see the fruits of our labor. [A large canister opens next to him, revealing hundreds of vampire fetuses] For years, I've struggled to rid our kind of any hereditary weaknesses. And so... [Takes one of the fetuses] recombining DNA was simply the next logical step. Nomak was the first, a failure. But, in time, there will be a new, pure race, begotten from my own flesh, immune to silver, soon even sunlight.

Whistler: I got a question for you, you lying son of a bitch. You want to explain how Nomak got ahold of this ring? [Tosses a ring in front of him]

[Nyssa picks up the ring, then looks at Damaskinos]

Eli Damaskinos: I would have thought that was obvious by this point. I gave it to him, of course. A gift from father... to son.

[Nyssa, disgusted, leaves, followed by Damaskinos and Kounen]

Reinhardt: I thought he'd never leave. [Shoots Blade in the knee, then whacks Whistler with the back of his rifle] The wolf has laid with the sheep long enough.

Blade:[Takes out the detonator] Reinhardt, you can kiss you ass goodbye.

[Blade activates the detonator, but the bomb doesn't go off]

Scud:[Laughs] I'm sorry, man. B, you're wasting your time, man. The bomb's a dud. It was never supposed to explode. It was just supposed to make you feel " in control ".

Reinhardt: Thought you had me on a short leash, didn't you, jefe? [Removes the bomb and tosses it to Scud] Much better.

Scud: See this? [Exposes a vampire glyph on the inside of his lower lip] I'm one of Damaskinos' familiars. They needed my help to bring you here to control Nomak. The old fuck, he was always just bait. I mean, look at him. He's your only real weakness, man. You may be fast, you may be strong, and all that other bullshit. But in the end, B, you're just too human! [Punches Whistler in the face]

Whistler: Why, you little shit.

Scud:[Punches Whistler again] You think they scoped out my security system? I let them in, asshole! I practically handed them the keys! [To Blade] You heard cue-ball, right. Pretty soon, they're gonna all be daywalkers, man. And when that happens, I'd rather be a pet than cattle. You got me, B? What do you think about that, man?

Blade: Two things: One, I've been onto you since they turned you. And, two, it's not a dud. [Activates the detonator]

Scud: Oh, great.

[The detonator explodes, killing Scud and showering the area around him with his remains]

Whistler: I was just startin' to like him.

Reinhardt: [Examining Blade's sword] I wonder how many vampires he's killed with this thing.

Whistler: Not nearly enough, Fritz.

Reinhardt: [Pulls out his pistol] Keep talking, honky-tonk. It just makes my sending you into the next world all the sweeter.
